Hi, I bought some cheap tubers from costco cause I’d thought it’d be nice and this is what I have, one is mushy. Should I plant as is? or cut them

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Cut the old roots off wirh a pair of siccors, let dry for a day, put them in soil, water down generously once, then put them in a warm place. I usually fill up the pot with 3-5 cm more soil loosely. The soil on top, I do not water to make it easier for the shoots to penetrate the soil. They all have a sprout (eyes) and they look good. Do not cut off the fresh green/ pink/ purple growth!
